Solar energy is incident normally on the earth's surface at the rate of about $1.4 \, kW m^{-2}$. The distance between the earth and the sun is $1.5 \times 10^{11} \, m$. Energy $E$ and mass $m$ are related by Einstein's equation $E = mc^2$,where $c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m s^{-1}$ is the speed of light in free space. The decrease in the mass of the sun is ........... $\, kg s^{-1}$.

When light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface,photons of power $P$ are emitted. The number of photons $n$ emitted in time $t$ is: [$h$ = Planck's constant,$c$ = velocity of light in vacuum]
